Shapiro and NRO are never-Trumpers and their links should not be allowed on this site.
RE: Shapiro and NRO are never-Trumpers and their links should not be allowed on this site.
Shapiro IS NOT ( repeat IS NOT ) a NeverTrumper.
He is a self-proclaimed “Sometime Trumper”... supporting him when he thinks he’s right and criticizing him when he thinks he’s wrong.
Isn’t this the same Ben Shapiro who called Trump immoral for the Muslim ban, even though he’s written a bunch of articles about uprooting and deporting all Palestinians from Israel?
He is a hack who plays with words and virtue without believing or possessing any of what he espouses.

Ben Shapiro Explains How Trump Refugee Order Is NOT A Muslim Ban
Can anyone help a brother out?
Baloney! Shapiro should be more careful. Not only is his analysis baloney, it’s not kosher baloney. Like William Krystal, he’s making sausage by using adulterated logic. Heaven only knows what’s in their portfolios.
RE: Not only is his analysis baloney
Can you elaborate?
Here is Shapiro’s beef:
Carlson’s claim that material gain isn’t enough to provide happiness doesn’t lead him back to virtue, which would bolster additional freedom. It leads him to the same material solutions that undercut virtue in the first place.
Shapiro is a hypocrite and a mercenary at best. Recall he also promoted the Lewandowski attack, saying we had a duty to believe that stupid whore who hoaxes getting beaten up.
Shapiro never apologized for that and has only come off Never Trumpism a little bit to keep his Audience. You are foolish to not recognize his deception.
Shapiro is a never Trump magpie being pushed forward now. No thanks

I’ve been listening to his show on the drive time radio. I have NEVER had the impression that he was a NEVER ( as in will NEVER support Trump no matter what he does ) TRUMPER.
Listen to him before jumping into conclusions. For instance, On the issue of the day — THE WALL, Ben Shapiro SUPPORTS Trump.

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” “Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.” “A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society.”
- John Adams
“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.”
—Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence
There were a whole bunch of people who were reserved about Trump in 2016 because of his erratic personal life, who have been happily surprised by his actions as president. Shapiro is one of them.
Right, but what solutions?
Unless Shapiro is suggesting everyone pick up a copy of Seneca's Letters, the way forward is...?
One of Marx's greatest deceptions was the invention of the term, "capitalism." It made the concepts of free markets, just another, "-ism," a defined system whose merits and faults can be debated in relation to other, "-isms". Mere use of the word, "capitalism," allows Marx to set the terms of the debate. To the contrary, free markets are not an "ism" with rules, predictable patterns, borders, etc defined by anybody but each individual participant in it. Free markets are how civil people interact with one another and conduct their commerce to satisfy their needs and wants. There may be agreed upon rules (i.e., against fraud, breach of contract, etc.) but these do not in and of themselves define a system. Free markets are not an "ism" any more than an ocean or river are a plumbing system.
